A former president is indicted, acurrent president is accused, and the Mayor
of New York City suggests, ifyou have a spare room, give it
to a migrant. Or did theyreally just say that. Moments this week
reflect the very strange times we livein. I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben
Parker. This is news bite I'vebeen said, and we will prove that
(00:32):
very very soundly and hopefully very quickly. Thank you very much, very obviation
our school and Nancy basis be violateand sold out the country. Give responsive
for congressional republicants. Where's the moneycloser? If we bring the asilum seekers
and the migrants to everyday New Yorkers, the easier it will be for them
to transition into US society. Theyhave spare rooms. That was the Mayor
(00:59):
of New York City. Actually lotsof spare rooms. You're also a camper.
That was a combination of two cutswhere he sets up his proposition that
private citizens in New York City starttaking in migrants. That's his plan,
that's what you'd like to do.Um. He explains it by saying that
you know, you need migrants needto be close to New Yorkers. In
(01:22):
order to assimilate. That's that oneis cut nine closer. If we bring
the Asilum seekers and the migrants toeveryday New Yorkers, they easier would be
for them to transition into society.And then he brings it home in the
next cut where this is what thisis what it's leading up to Cut nine
A. It is my vision totake the next step to this, to
(01:47):
go to the faith based locales andthen moved to private residents. They are
residents who are suffering right now becauseof economic challenges. They have of spare
rooms. So so I get Iget the look. There's plenty of churches
and houses of worship from any religionwho put up homeless people and people in
(02:08):
need. And I get that.So that's fine if the churches want to
do that. Um, this ismore like these like exchange students. This
kind of sounds like an exchange studentprogram. No, it's not. When
we don't get anything, somebody elseis in the other place. I know
what, Let's sends Adams to somebody'shouse down south and we'll bring somebody up
(02:30):
here. Well, the other thing, too, is what he mentioned,
and I'm trying to figure this out. He said, you know, there
are people who are big down ontheir luck, kind of economic times,
kind of thing. Is the stategoing to give them money for taking in
a migrant? Then yeah, ohwell that's even one hundred and something a
day. But here's the thing,hundred and something a day. Yeah,
you don't get money for taking ina New Yorker who's homeless. You only
(02:51):
get money for bringing in a migrantwho's homeless. So if you if there's
a homeless vent you want to helpout, you don't get any money for
helping him. You don't get anymoney for how helping that mom with the
two kids who's homeless and needs tofind it. You don't get any money
for only a migrant that's been that'sbeen brought up from the border. Do
you get money for helping I gota I got a four bedroom house,
and I got a couple of kids, ones in college, the other ones
(03:13):
moved out. I got a coupleof dogs. I also have you know,
full basement, a couple of extrafamily room. So you're thinking you
could retire now I'm thinking about Iknow it's a New York thing, but
you know, if they wouldn't mindcoming to Massachusetts, my god, I
could travel into I could a thousandbucks a day. There you go,
all right, I mean I neverhave to work again. Ten people,
I got tents and cots and allsorts of where you're you're actually responding to
(03:34):
this much better than the denizens ofthe Big Apple. Are you want to
hear what their response was? Ican, I can imagine, but okay,
go ahead. At nine. Ithink what he's doing, it's not
good for the city. He's justtrying the city. He has to support
people that they were in the army, poor people. He has to support
the poor people that live in thecity. He has to suport first the
(03:58):
American people. I went a month. I'm sham illegal or not illegal,
just a stranger in journal. Thereare dangers that come with it. But
in terms of any type of crisis, you're want a house, people,
it's your choice. It's your athome, and you're allowed to bring in
whoever you want. It's your home. No about those people. They're offering
some money, like possibly around onehundred and twenty five dollars per day per
person. Don't know. I wouldn'tdo it. If this opportunity came to
(04:21):
you, you wouldn't take it.I absolutely would not. We don't have
any homeless vets we could put upin people those days. And by the
the one woman that was sort ofpositive saying it's up to you. Notice
she wasn't saying she was going todo it right, She's saying it's up
to you. Well, you dowhat you want. Well, you know,
the funny thing is, and Idon't want to compare apples to oranges
here, but you know what shesaid is correct, but not correct.
She said, you can bring youcan keep whoever you want your house or
(04:44):
whatever. No, if they're anX murder or you can't keep them there,
you can until they've discarded. Well, you're not getting one hundred a
quarter a day either from putting anX murder off it, and you're not
getting one hundred quarter to day forhelping anybody who's homeless, who who's an
American citizen. That's part of theproblem. So I'm even gonna go I'm
gonna go on the on the aconservative side here and say, Okay,
I'm not going to put ten peoplein my house. I'm just gonna put
five. So that's one in aquarter a day, that's six and a
(05:06):
quarter a day off times seven daysa week. That's forty two. And
by the way, is possibly youheard that said. I mean, so
here's the thing. So you takethese people into your home and then the
city decides, you know what,we can't afford this, so we're not
going to pay you. These peopleare in your home. You know what
the eviction laws are in New York. They're never leaving. So they've duped
(05:29):
you into bringing people in for wecan't afford them anymore. We can't afford
them anymore. So maybe you geta thousand bucks on the deal for a
week or two, and then theysay we can't pay you anymore, and
then these people are in your homeand you can't even Maybe I should just
go back to airbnb instead. Yeah, seems a little more on the up
and up, a little more thanthan the state. Well haven't. Having
(05:50):
migrants shipped up from the border hasbeen a very rude awakening to some very
blue cities, including New York.And it was very interesting to me because
there was a New York City councilmanby the name of Robert Holden who is
a Democrat, and he is bullleap about this and very vocal about why
(06:11):
New York cannot keep receiving migrants.Cut eight. We think the right to
shelter is the wrong way to goon this one, because we're not going
to We can't take in the world. If a million people come, do
we have to house a million peopleand feed them and call them. It's
ridiculous. It is ridiculous. Iagree with you, and he brings another
point, saying New York is evenmore sensitive to this issue than other places
(06:35):
are. Cut eight A. We'rea sovereign nation. We should close the
border. You know, we gotto remain in Mexico. Policy has to
be instituted because it's this doesn't work. We can't have these open borders,
especially a city like New York,which suffered the most after nine to eleven,
we had the most people killed becausebad people got into the country.
(07:00):
So again, if you want to, you know, apply for asylum,
apply and when when the application isapproved, then you come in. Right
now, there's a ten year waitin New York City Field Office for to
process asylum applications. Ten years,so we're gonna that means that they're going
(07:21):
to be on the public doll forten years in New York City. That's
ridiculous. See, and the citycan't afford it. So this is why
this is just an ill conceived Butwhat's really fascinating to me is as long
as these migrants were destroying you know, border cities like El Paso, then
(07:41):
it was fine. You know thatnobody had any These sanctuary cities were holier
than now, oh you know,no problem. But now that they actually
have to deal with just a tinyfraction of the issue that the border cities
and the border states have had todeal with, all of a sudden,
it's ridiculous. This is, bythe way, one very much a nimby
situation. The councilman there uh pointedout a very good reason why I don't
want to move to New York City. I don't want to I don't want
(08:03):
to wait ten years to go there. That's not only for people from outside
at the moment, all I can'tspeak for what's going to happen next week,
but at the moment, you don'tneed a passport to go to New
York City. You can just goreally yeah, yeah, yeah, not
aware. Still going by the way, Well, one Democrat that has come
out very strongly against what's happening atthe border was presidential candidate Robert F.
(08:28):
Kennedy Junior, which is interesting.He's a liberal Democrat who has some very
center he is, in fact,but he's got so he has some That's
what I'm about to say. He'sgot some very more center oriented positions on
some very important issues which make alot of people think he's going to be
a real threat to President Biden.One of those issues is the border,
(08:50):
and he actually was down along theborder this past week and was horrified by
what he saw. Cut seven Aand altogether people have come across right here
from one hundred and seventeen nations inthe last couple of years. In three
(09:11):
years in total, seven million peoplehave come across the border illegally into our
country. And from here they're puton these buses and they're brought to the
border patrols station where their process.After four or five days, they're released
on their own reconnissance into our country, and most of them are never seen
(09:33):
or heard from again. So he'sputting forth that, you know, the
Democrats tell I, we know whereeverybody is, and so no, you
don't. They've never seen him again, And even RFK Junior saying no,
you don't, and then he putsit right to. Part of the problems
as a humanitarian crisis is because theworld thinks we have open borders. Why
because Brendon President Biden when he wasdebating before the election, it's telling people
(09:56):
to surge the border, and theytook came at his word and that he
has allowed it. Cut seven b. This is a humanitarian crisis because of
the understanding across the globe that wenow have an open border. Here there
are people being drawn here, they'rebeing abused there. There is all kinds
(10:18):
of a horrific, a terrible,terrible stories. And this is not a
good thing for our country. It'snot a good thing for these people.
It is unsustainable. The video ofhim doing that, by the way,
is impressive, isn't it. Helooks like a bad tourist visiting. But
he's he's by himself, is notwith a huge entourage of people. He's
(10:41):
taking the pictures himself right so tome, and he's doing this tourist well,
to me, that's deliberate. He'she's blending in and he's not looking
like you know people. It's notsupposed to be a polished it's not a
stand up with a right with allthese people around him clapping behind him.
I get that he's doing to talkvideo basically, and to me, I
(11:03):
was impressed by it because he wasgetting it and actually talking to people and
sawing Look look at the buses behindme, look at it. I mean,
is it high quality? No,it isn't. But that was the
charm of it. He was actuallydoing what most people would do if they
were down. They're going, waita minute, it looks it looks like
it looks like a video. Iwould look if I was visiting the border,
look behind me, me too,That's exactly what I would do.
(11:24):
But that was why it was effective. Yeah, we don't have to agree
on thought it was no. No, I well, I mean, I
agree with what you say in theway you say it, but I also
agree with him. I think wecan both be right because it does look
like at a tourist video about itis refreshing that he's not having this stand
up with lights and securely and onehundred people behind him with a banner.
(11:45):
You know, they always had thebanner behind him and then with a flag
pal button. He's none of thatstuff, right, He's in his genes
going Oh my god, look what'shappening? And I found it refreshing.
Is he uh, and I'm askingthis seriously, is it kind of is
he? Was he breathing in alot of sand while he was down there,
And he has a he has ait's a spasm dissecty thing or something.
(12:07):
No, it's it's a it's ait's a voice box disease. He
actually has a physical disease that causesspasms of the voice box. That's why
I don't like I said. That'swhy I asked seriously, because he did
sound like I would have sounded ifI ran through the desert for a day.
Yeah, poor poor dude that time. It sounds like all the time,
I know, and it's nothing youcan do about it. So um,
So it wasn't just a bad weekfor people at the border. It
(12:28):
was a bad week for presidents,both former and current. The Congressional Oversight
Committee won a tussle with the FBIto gain access to the non classified documents,
which were purported to show proof ofthen Vice President Biden's influence paddling Members
saw it in a secure room askiff at the FBI, even though it
(12:50):
wasn't classified. And they came outand reported on it immediately. They were
not going to be held back bythe FBI. In particular, this is
Congress from Marjorie Tayler Green of Georgia. After seeing the FBI document, she
relates what's in it, and she'stalking about this document is from an informant
(13:13):
of the FBI, a long terminformant of the FBI that the fbis used
forever ten years, who was soeffective that they've paid him over two hundred
thousand dollars, which is one ofthe ways you can tell somebody has a
great deal of credibility. They don'tpay you if your information doesn't pan out.
So she's talking about documents from thisparticular very credible informant, and this
(13:35):
is what she was saying was init. Cut seventeen et. The owner
Braceman said that Hunter was stupid andthat his other business partner was smart.
He also said that he paid fivemillion to one Biden and he paid five
million to another Biden and it wasall a bribery to get Choken fired and
(13:58):
end the investigation. And to Chokinis the Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Barisma
and who as you remember President Bidenback in twenty eighteen bragged about the fact
that he got Chokein fired prot prosecutorfired because he was searching into Barisma,
(14:20):
and Barisma is the company that hisson Hunter was working for. So he's
bragging that he got the guy investigatinghis son's company fired. Sounds fine to
me. And then so this isone of the reasons why apparently Hunter was
paid five million dollars to help withthat situation, and apparently five million dollars
was paid to Biden and to presidentthen Vice President Biden, and the owner
(14:45):
of Barisma told the informant very specifically. At first was saying, no,
we paid everything to Hunter, andthen he paid the big guy. But
then he said he had did tohave some insurance with specific documents that were
direct payments to Vice President Biden teenf He also told the informant this is
common practice in Russian Ukraine. It'scommon practice. It's part of business there
(15:09):
that's prow Their culture works that theywill pay bribery money in order to get
business deals done, and that manybusinesses they take that into account. They
put it their budget. Basically whenthey're preparing to buy another company or start
another company that that's just normal andso over in Ukraine for them to consider
(15:31):
hiring Hunter Biden on the board inorder to make their problems go away,
which was the prosecutor Shoken who wasinvestigating Barisma for corruption and legal problems.
This was definitely illegal for a vicepresident of the United States and their family
members. And then seventeen h sherelays the part about the bank accounts and
(15:56):
the direct payment seventeen h but hedid say that it would take ten years
for all of us to find outthe payments made to the Biden because of
how many bank accounts there weren't hesaid at the time there were no direct
payments made to the big guy.But in the meeting later after he had
(16:18):
become more upset as things were unfolding, he told the informant that he has
two pieces of evidence showing proof ofpayment to Hunter and specifically Joe Biden.
So this is not good news forPresident Biden. And what was really funny
yesterday, so this is coming out. The Congress members, members the committee
(16:40):
went to see the documents. Theysaw them. There's more than one.
And then the President, who wasdoing a press conference on something else,
was met by questions from the press, which were normally friendly not so friendly
yesterday cut sixteen the re obviation bombsof the Nancy basis, there's Danny evidence
out of bile that he sold outthe country. Give response to the Congressional
(17:03):
Republicans, where's the money? Thepresident to a bunch of malarkey. President,
it's a bunch of malarkey, where'sthe money, which has caused a
number of members of conversation. Well, we'll show you where the money is.
And then he was asked to followup by an NBC reporter who's normally
very supportive of the president. Sixteen. As the president, what do you
(17:26):
say to Americans to convince that theyshould trust that independence? Embarrass of the
Justice Department? Your friends as areDonald trumm repeatedly attacked because you have noticed,
I have never once, number one, single time, suggested the Justice
Department what they should do or notdo wealth to bringing a charge and not
bring a charge. I'm honest,I'm honest, honest, Joe, Hell,
(17:49):
do we know what he's You know, we're not. We're not privy
because we're not allowed in to hearwhat the president does with It's nice though,
by the way, because if youremember President to Trump, former President
Trump used to call still does JoeBiden creepy Joe. Now now he's got
a new moniker, he's honest Joe. Like like, honest, honest Joe.
I'm honest Joe. By the way, that would be a he should
(18:11):
if he doesn't win reelection, oreven if he does, once he finally
gets out of office, if helives that long, he should do uh,
he should do commercials for car dealers. I'm honest, Joe, come
on down and buy this beautiful gelopefrom Ukraine. I'd like to, uh,
yeah, honest Joe, honest dealersfor honest people. I'd like peddler
(18:32):
Joe or shady Joe. Shady Joe'sgood, Yeah, I like. I
like both. The honest honest workfor for Ay B. Lincoln all these
years. He's still honestly enough.That's because honest Day was honest that I'm
sorry, you have to be whatyou're saying. That's I think could be
a misapprehension on my part. Ithink you do so sexy Ben isn't working
for me. Well, let's askyour wife. Don't ask her, you
(18:56):
gotta ask other people. So well, now, some find it a very
strange coincidence. Indeed, that atthe same time that this document comes out
Congress as the document the President Trumpwas indicted. It was a bit of
a shocker and not expected. Thereare seven charges relating to the mishandling of
(19:17):
classified White House documents that were recoveredfrom Mara Lago, the president's former president's
estate in Florida. I'm club inFlorida. They include things like willfully retaining
national defense documents, obstruction of varioussorts, etc. And if convicted of
all seven counts, there's a maximumsentence of seventy five years. President Trump,
of course, says, I aman innocent man. Cut thirteen A.
(19:42):
I'm an innocent man. We willprove that again. Seven years of
proving it and here we go again. Very unfair, but that's the way
it is. I just want tothank everybody. We are doing something very
special for our country. We're puttingAmerica first. I always put America first,
(20:02):
and that's why we were in aposition. Unfortunately that position is no
longer valid because they've done such apoor job. But we're in a position
where we're going to make America greatagain. By the way, it wasn't
wasn't that a song by Billy Joel? I am an instant absolutely positively I
should get together and do a doa remake of that, a duet Trump
(20:25):
and Billy Joel. Why not forBilly Joel. Yeah, by the way,
instead of sending Trump to jail ifhe gets convicted, here's a good
idea. And I'm just trying tosolve the world's problems. So don't don't
get mad at me. I thinka room in New York, Well,
he should have to put up someof those immigrants. Just he's got a
lot of room down there. He'sgot a lot of Well they're in New
York, they're not in Florida.Well, he's in the New York in
(20:45):
the Florida governor, and the Floridagovernor has not has not put that thought
out there. I'm not looking tohouse immigrants. How many? How many
migrants could you put up? Ifeven run per room at Trump Tower?
Well, the him is Trump Ta. He doesn't he doesn't own Trump Tower.
It's a condo building. People owncondos. Quarter. He has his
(21:07):
own condo in Trump Tower, buthe doesn't own the other I see,
well, in a bucket, aquarter ahead. I'm just thinking you might
get more money than than the building'sworth after if you got the money long
enough. Yeah, I'm just look, I'm just trying to solve more than
one problem here, No I andI applaud you thinking outside the box.
I think that's by the way,is Trump I'm trying to So Trump been
indicted as many times as he's runfor president? Is that now the account?
(21:29):
Oh he's been indicted more. Ohokay, so he's way more than
that. He's only run for presidentthree times. Okay, the first,
the second he lost. This isthe third, and there's seven charges on
this, So that's you can countthat a seoretically out. Yeah, I
was just going with individuals. Otherwise, it's two indictments, two separate occasions
where there are multiple indictments. Thatway, Okay, I'm losing count I
just I got to check off thisthis column for one, and then over
(21:52):
here you got running for presidents.That's a different column. Yeah, that's
it's it's it's well, I mean, we're being kind of irreverent, but
that's what we do. But thething is that the indictment of a former
president is causing shockwaves. Of course, through both Democrats and Republicans. UM.
To be honest with you, themost vocal people, as you can
(22:14):
imagine right now are the people whoare running against Trump, and that's been
very interesting. I mean a lotof them issued statements like DeSantis issued a
statement, Vice President Pence issued astatement, um Nikki Haley issued statement all
support all issuing support for President Trump. And a few actually have come out
with with statements recorded statements. Onewas Vivic Ramaswami had this to say to
(22:38):
them to the indictment cut fourteen.I never thought we'd see the day when
a party in power, a USpresident has a Department of Justice under him
that arrests his lead rival during anelection, in the middle of an election.
Yeah, here we are. Wehave two standards of justice, one
(23:02):
for BLM riders and Antifa, anotherone for peaceful January six protesters, one
for Chelsea Manning, another one forJulian Assange. Guess what now you have
one for Joe Biden, who violatesthe same laws about document retention and classified
documents, and then one for Presidentdrum Yeah. I agree with him.
(23:22):
I think he puts it very well. And the other one who made a
verbal statement was Senator Tim Scott onFox and he likened it to pulling the
blindfold off of Lady Justice. Cutfifteen. A. One thing that makes
America the city on the Hill isconfidence in our justice system. And today
(23:44):
what we see is a justice systemwhere the scales are awaited. That seems
to be the outcome of where weare today. As President of the United
States, I would purge all ofthe injustice and impurities in our system so
that every American can have a confidencethat they will be seen by the Lady
(24:07):
of Justice with the blindfold on.That is what we need in this nation.
I agree, well, I dotoo. But here's here's the thing
that I think of. And ofcourse President Trump had the whole drain the
swamp. And we've heard this right, this, this song and dance has
been played before. I will makeyou know the equal justice and this and
that, and I'm gonna drain theswamp. I'm gonna get rid of the
players. See the problem is,and I don't want to sound like a
(24:30):
pessimist, but I'm gonna. Idon't know if that's possible. It's a
great promise, but boy, thegovernment is so deep and so twisted and
so I don't know if it.Trump didn't do it, so I just
wonder if it could really be basicallydid it while he was in office,
but then you know, he lostthe next election. I think he need
a good solid eight years of nonnon Democrat rule in order to clean the
(24:55):
Democrat swamp. And then you haveto worry about the Republican swamp. Right,
You've got swamp of everybody, right, right, So but I think
I think it's doable. But Ithink their point is right enough, Americans.
And it's interesting because the poll numbersare switching more and more against President
Biden because they perceived this unequal handof justice. They perceived the hypocrisy of
(25:17):
President Trump being charged with criminal chargesfor keeping classified documents when President Biden did
the same thing, When President Obamadid the same thing, when President Bush
did the same thing. They alldo the same thing. And people on
the left and saying, well,he hid them, No, he didn't.
He led everybody into look at them. That's mainstream media speak, which
(25:37):
was incorrect. He let them haveaccess to them. What they were looking
for, apparently, were the fastand furious documents that had to deal with
Eric Holder, and they didn't findthem or they couldn't find them, and
that's why they just said to himinitially, just put a padlock on the
room, we'll come look at themlater. And he gave them access to
them every single time they asked forit. And yet they did for a
(26:00):
television hit. They did the FBIwith the flashing lights at the door.
I mean, it's all obviously politicaland obviously unhanded that even people who used
to support President Biden are disgusted becausethere's something really deeply ingrained in the American
psyche, and that is the fairness. And if something's unfair or sneaky,
we have a very virulent response,such as the Japanese sneaking up on us
(26:25):
at Pearl Harbor. And it's thatvery famous Yamamoto quote. All we've done
is to awaken a sleeping giant andfill him with a terrible resolve. And
that's what's happening here, I thinkis that the misuse of the Department of
Justice is awakening a sleeping giant,aka the American people on both sides of
the island. They're going no,no, no, no no, because
(26:45):
if it can happen to Donald Trump, who has the resources and the power
to protect himself. It can happento us and we will have no recourse.
And I think that's what's happened.I think this indictment will actually probably
end up helping Trump in the end, unless he's in a jail cell.
I think he will be able tobeat win a Republican primary and possibly the
(27:07):
general election because of what they're tryingto do to him. Well, in
my opinion, of course, thereis there is the school of thought,
uh that Trump winning the primary andbecause there's a million and seventy three thousand
uh you know people running, hevery well might win the nomination that that's
that's that's bad for the Republican Party. So you have two sides of the
(27:27):
equation. One of those people whocame out and said I'm not running because
it's too crowded is New Hampshire GovernorChris sunuh So, I mean he's a
big I'm a big and Sunu,who was a Trump supporter in in twenty
sixteen you can tell, has fallenwell off the Trump bandwagon. So well,
I think that's the that would havehappened. I think that was the
natural accretion that would have happened,that people would walk away to these other
(27:48):
clients, these other candidates. ButI think the Democrats doing this, the
Department just is doing this, isputting people squarely in Trump's camp where they
wouldn't have been had had everything beenallowed to run. It's now actual course,
of course, just like everything else, we will see when it's all
over, what actually happens. Imean, you can listen to the show
in ten years and go, oh, they were right or they were wrong,
or pressing what they were Yeah,yeah, And I'm you know,
(28:11):
I'm going to guess I'm right sometimesand wrong sometimes. So it'll be interesting.
When I said, Sexy Ben,you know, time will tell,
it will be. We end everyweek with a biden Ism. We try
to, at least, and that'sthe President doing something that only Joe Biden
would do, and usually it pointsout the fact that Joe Biden is missing
one or two steps these days.Um. This week's Bidenism had to do
(28:33):
with the meeting. Um. ThePresident met with Prime Minister of the uk
um Rishi Sunac And so in thefirst little cut, it's just a little
tiny cut, he calls him Ican't remember what position he holds and calls
him, you know, mister President. Um, I believe that's Cut twenty
seven. We're all, mister President. I just motive you, mister Prime
(28:56):
Minister. It's great to have itback. And you know, the past
months, we met each other inSan Diego, and then we met in
Belfast, and we met in Hiroshima, and now we're here. We're going
to solve all the problems in theworld. Right in the next twenty minutes
went you know, at least hecorrected himself there, he caught himself and
(29:18):
corrected himself. But the next oneis funnier because he never does get it
what he doesn't. He starts totell this rambling story and he wants to
tell and he wants to mention WinstonChurchill, not exactly a hard name to
pronounce or to remember, since he'spretty huge in both the British and the
American zeitgeist, or anybody who is, you know, at least over the
(29:41):
age of thirty, cannot forget it, and if I cannot remember what his
name and just eventually just gives up. Cut twenty eight. Well, for
we had time, I take careof a residence where I live, and
when you were over at Blairhouse.Yeah, President Trumall was there because they
would read in the White House heput a hole in the German balcony easy
(30:03):
existing now because of their house inDanneville. About that second balcomen you see
the first bathmen you see so anyway, and there's an awful lot of stories
that are told of probably a bunchof apocryphal about um former prime minister,
like they take baths of that anyway, anyway, what the hell I can't
(30:26):
remember. It's like playing like playingbad trivial pursuit for former Prime Minister of
the UK, and then you gotto like list off all of them.
Margaret Thatcher, No, I thinkthat's a good game out you Biden trivial
pursuit? Yea, what name ishe trying to? What is he trying
to do when he calls someone who'snot a president at the president? It's
kind of like puzzles where they turnedaround when where they turn around one piece
(30:49):
at a time. You know,you can listen to it. Could you
guess who was talking about? Yeah, former Prime minister go I think I
would always start with this Winston churchChill. I work my way though,
kind yeah, world Lloyd, Ido you know Disraeli but I would probably
start with both, with both WinstonChurchill and Margaret that you would be the
(31:11):
top of my head. And thenwhoever's sitting now I think I think it
would depend on your age. Likeif you were a big Reaganite age person,
you would probably say Margaret Thatcher maybefirst. But if you were of
the older generation, then Winston Churchillmight be probably gets tossed in there.
Sure, sure, if you're intolike the Royals and you're of the Diana
era, yeah, I mean sothere's a but you know, but but
(31:32):
to not remember Winston Churi, Imean, the most famous prime minister ever
ever in the entire world is probablyWinston Churchill. You know. Um,
I was just thinking, you guyshad a queen who just recently died.
Um it was a she was ashe liked dogs. Well yeah, around
a long time. We're a crown. Yeah, I don't even what what
(31:52):
was her name? Yeah? Goodgod? No, well that's coming next
week. But this week this weekit was Winnie A right, Winston Churchill.
So if you have trouble remembering primeminister's names or you'd like to get
in on Ben's game for for youknow, Biden trivial pursuit. Let us
know. You can contact us onTwitter at newsbite three any wsby t E
(32:13):
three, or on Facebook at newsBite. We upload a new episode every
Monday, so by all means,please check back with us next week and
see what new offerings we have.Meanwhile, have a wonderful week. I
hope it's better than both President Biden'sand President Trump's. I'm Nancy Shack.
I'm I was never Prime minister.It's coming to me. I'm Ben Parker.
This is news Bite
A former president is indicted, acurrent president is accused, and the Mayor
of New York City suggests, ifyou have a spare room, give it
to a migrant. Or did theyreally just say that. Moments this week
reflect the very strange times we livein. I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben
Parker. This is news bite I'vebeen said, and we will prove that
(00:32):
very very soundly and hopefully very quickly. Thank you very much, very obviation
our school and Nancy basis be violateand sold out the country. Give responsive
for congressional republicants. Where's the moneycloser? If we bring the asilum seekers
and the migrants to everyday New Yorkers, the easier it will be for them
to transition into US society. Theyhave spare rooms. That was the Mayor
(00:59):
of New York City. Actually lotsof spare rooms. You're also a camper.
That was a combination of two cutswhere he sets up his proposition that
private citizens in New York City starttaking in migrants. That's his plan,
that's what you'd like to do.Um. He explains it by saying that
you know, you need migrants needto be close to New Yorkers. In
(01:22):
order to assimilate. That's that oneis cut nine closer. If we bring
the Asilum seekers and the migrants toeveryday New Yorkers, they easier would be
for them to transition into society.And then he brings it home in the
next cut where this is what thisis what it's leading up to Cut nine
A. It is my vision totake the next step to this, to
(01:47):
go to the faith based locales andthen moved to private residents. They are
residents who are suffering right now becauseof economic challenges. They have of spare
rooms. So so I get Iget the look. There's plenty of churches
and houses of worship from any religionwho put up homeless people and people in
(02:08):
need. And I get that.So that's fine if the churches want to
do that. Um, this ismore like these like exchange students. This
kind of sounds like an exchange studentprogram. No, it's not. When
we don't get anything, somebody elseis in the other place. I know
what, Let's sends Adams to somebody'shouse down south and we'll bring somebody up
(02:30):
here. Well, the other thing, too, is what he mentioned,
and I'm trying to figure this out. He said, you know, there
are people who are big down ontheir luck, kind of economic times,
kind of thing. Is the stategoing to give them money for taking in
a migrant? Then yeah, ohwell that's even one hundred and something a
day. But here's the thing,hundred and something a day. Yeah,
you don't get money for taking ina New Yorker who's homeless. You only
(02:51):
get money for bringing in a migrantwho's homeless. So if you if there's
a homeless vent you want to helpout, you don't get any money for
helping him. You don't get anymoney for how helping that mom with the
two kids who's homeless and needs tofind it. You don't get any money
for only a migrant that's been that'sbeen brought up from the border. Do
you get money for helping I gota I got a four bedroom house,
and I got a couple of kids, ones in college, the other ones
(03:13):
moved out. I got a coupleof dogs. I also have you know,
full basement, a couple of extrafamily room. So you're thinking you
could retire now I'm thinking about Iknow it's a New York thing, but
you know, if they wouldn't mindcoming to Massachusetts, my god, I
could travel into I could a thousandbucks a day. There you go,
all right, I mean I neverhave to work again. Ten people,
I got tents and cots and allsorts of where you're you're actually responding to
(03:34):
this much better than the denizens ofthe Big Apple. Are you want to
hear what their response was? Ican, I can imagine, but okay,
go ahead. At nine. Ithink what he's doing, it's not
good for the city. He's justtrying the city. He has to support
people that they were in the army, poor people. He has to support
the poor people that live in thecity. He has to suport first the
(03:58):
American people. I went a month. I'm sham illegal or not illegal,
just a stranger in journal. Thereare dangers that come with it. But
in terms of any type of crisis, you're want a house, people,
it's your choice. It's your athome, and you're allowed to bring in
whoever you want. It's your home. No about those people. They're offering
some money, like possibly around onehundred and twenty five dollars per day per
person. Don't know. I wouldn'tdo it. If this opportunity came to
(04:21):
you, you wouldn't take it.I absolutely would not. We don't have
any homeless vets we could put upin people those days. And by the
the one woman that was sort ofpositive saying it's up to you. Notice
she wasn't saying she was going todo it right, She's saying it's up
to you. Well, you dowhat you want. Well, you know,
the funny thing is, and Idon't want to compare apples to oranges
here, but you know what shesaid is correct, but not correct.
She said, you can bring youcan keep whoever you want your house or
(04:44):
whatever. No, if they're anX murder or you can't keep them there,
you can until they've discarded. Well, you're not getting one hundred a
quarter a day either from putting anX murder off it, and you're not
getting one hundred quarter to day forhelping anybody who's homeless, who who's an
American citizen. That's part of theproblem. So I'm even gonna go I'm
gonna go on the on the aconservative side here and say, Okay,
I'm not going to put ten peoplein my house. I'm just gonna put
five. So that's one in aquarter a day, that's six and a
(05:06):
quarter a day off times seven daysa week. That's forty two. And
by the way, is possibly youheard that said. I mean, so
here's the thing. So you takethese people into your home and then the
city decides, you know what,we can't afford this, so we're not
going to pay you. These peopleare in your home. You know what
the eviction laws are in New York. They're never leaving. So they've duped
(05:29):
you into bringing people in for wecan't afford them anymore. We can't afford
them anymore. So maybe you geta thousand bucks on the deal for a
week or two, and then theysay we can't pay you anymore, and
then these people are in your homeand you can't even Maybe I should just
go back to airbnb instead. Yeah, seems a little more on the up
and up, a little more thanthan the state. Well haven't. Having
(05:50):
migrants shipped up from the border hasbeen a very rude awakening to some very
blue cities, including New York.And it was very interesting to me because
there was a New York City councilmanby the name of Robert Holden who is
a Democrat, and he is bullleap about this and very vocal about why
(06:11):
New York cannot keep receiving migrants.Cut eight. We think the right to
shelter is the wrong way to goon this one, because we're not going
to We can't take in the world. If a million people come, do
we have to house a million peopleand feed them and call them. It's
ridiculous. It is ridiculous. Iagree with you, and he brings another
point, saying New York is evenmore sensitive to this issue than other places
(06:35):
are. Cut eight A. We'rea sovereign nation. We should close the
border. You know, we gotto remain in Mexico. Policy has to
be instituted because it's this doesn't work. We can't have these open borders,
especially a city like New York,which suffered the most after nine to eleven,
we had the most people killed becausebad people got into the country.
(07:00):
So again, if you want to, you know, apply for asylum,
apply and when when the application isapproved, then you come in. Right
now, there's a ten year waitin New York City Field Office for to
process asylum applications. Ten years,so we're gonna that means that they're going
(07:21):
to be on the public doll forten years in New York City. That's
ridiculous. See, and the citycan't afford it. So this is why
this is just an ill conceived Butwhat's really fascinating to me is as long
as these migrants were destroying you know, border cities like El Paso, then
(07:41):
it was fine. You know thatnobody had any These sanctuary cities were holier
than now, oh you know,no problem. But now that they actually
have to deal with just a tinyfraction of the issue that the border cities
and the border states have had todeal with, all of a sudden,
it's ridiculous. This is, bythe way, one very much a nimby
situation. The councilman there uh pointedout a very good reason why I don't
want to move to New York City. I don't want to I don't want
(08:03):
to wait ten years to go there. That's not only for people from outside
at the moment, all I can'tspeak for what's going to happen next week,
but at the moment, you don'tneed a passport to go to New
York City. You can just goreally yeah, yeah, yeah, not
aware. Still going by the way, Well, one Democrat that has come
out very strongly against what's happening atthe border was presidential candidate Robert F.
(08:28):
Kennedy Junior, which is interesting.He's a liberal Democrat who has some very
center he is, in fact,but he's got so he has some That's
what I'm about to say. He'sgot some very more center oriented positions on
some very important issues which make alot of people think he's going to be
a real threat to President Biden.One of those issues is the border,
(08:50):
and he actually was down along theborder this past week and was horrified by
what he saw. Cut seven Aand altogether people have come across right here
from one hundred and seventeen nations inthe last couple of years. In three
(09:11):
years in total, seven million peoplehave come across the border illegally into our
country. And from here they're puton these buses and they're brought to the
border patrols station where their process.After four or five days, they're released
on their own reconnissance into our country, and most of them are never seen
(09:33):
or heard from again. So he'sputting forth that, you know, the
Democrats tell I, we know whereeverybody is, and so no, you
don't. They've never seen him again, And even RFK Junior saying no,
you don't, and then he putsit right to. Part of the problems
as a humanitarian crisis is because theworld thinks we have open borders. Why
because Brendon President Biden when he wasdebating before the election, it's telling people
(09:56):
to surge the border, and theytook came at his word and that he
has allowed it. Cut seven b. This is a humanitarian crisis because of
the understanding across the globe that wenow have an open border. Here there
are people being drawn here, they'rebeing abused there. There is all kinds
(10:18):
of a horrific, a terrible,terrible stories. And this is not a
good thing for our country. It'snot a good thing for these people.
It is unsustainable. The video ofhim doing that, by the way,
is impressive, isn't it. Helooks like a bad tourist visiting. But
he's he's by himself, is notwith a huge entourage of people. He's
(10:41):
taking the pictures himself right so tome, and he's doing this tourist well,
to me, that's deliberate. He'she's blending in and he's not looking
like you know people. It's notsupposed to be a polished it's not a
stand up with a right with allthese people around him clapping behind him.
I get that he's doing to talkvideo basically, and to me, I
(11:03):
was impressed by it because he wasgetting it and actually talking to people and
sawing Look look at the buses behindme, look at it. I mean,
is it high quality? No,it isn't. But that was the
charm of it. He was actuallydoing what most people would do if they
were down. They're going, waita minute, it looks it looks like
it looks like a video. Iwould look if I was visiting the border,
look behind me, me too,That's exactly what I would do.
(11:24):
But that was why it was effective. Yeah, we don't have to agree
on thought it was no. No, I well, I mean, I
agree with what you say in theway you say it, but I also
agree with him. I think wecan both be right because it does look
like at a tourist video about itis refreshing that he's not having this stand
up with lights and securely and onehundred people behind him with a banner.
(11:45):
You know, they always had thebanner behind him and then with a flag
pal button. He's none of thatstuff, right, He's in his genes
going Oh my god, look what'shappening? And I found it refreshing.
Is he uh, and I'm askingthis seriously, is it kind of is
he? Was he breathing in alot of sand while he was down there,
And he has a he has ait's a spasm dissecty thing or something.
(12:07):
No, it's it's a it's ait's a voice box disease. He
actually has a physical disease that causesspasms of the voice box. That's why
I don't like I said. That'swhy I asked seriously, because he did
sound like I would have sounded ifI ran through the desert for a day.
Yeah, poor poor dude that time. It sounds like all the time,
I know, and it's nothing youcan do about it. So um,
So it wasn't just a bad weekfor people at the border. It
(12:28):
was a bad week for presidents,both former and current. The Congressional Oversight
Committee won a tussle with the FBIto gain access to the non classified documents,
which were purported to show proof ofthen Vice President Biden's influence paddling Members
saw it in a secure room askiff at the FBI, even though it
(12:50):
wasn't classified. And they came outand reported on it immediately. They were
not going to be held back bythe FBI. In particular, this is
Congress from Marjorie Tayler Green of Georgia. After seeing the FBI document, she
relates what's in it, and she'stalking about this document is from an informant
(13:13):
of the FBI, a long terminformant of the FBI that the fbis used
forever ten years, who was soeffective that they've paid him over two hundred
thousand dollars, which is one ofthe ways you can tell somebody has a
great deal of credibility. They don'tpay you if your information doesn't pan out.
So she's talking about documents from thisparticular very credible informant, and this
(13:35):
is what she was saying was init. Cut seventeen et. The owner
Braceman said that Hunter was stupid andthat his other business partner was smart.
He also said that he paid fivemillion to one Biden and he paid five
million to another Biden and it wasall a bribery to get Choken fired and
(13:58):
end the investigation. And to Chokinis the Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Barisma
and who as you remember President Bidenback in twenty eighteen bragged about the fact
that he got Chokein fired prot prosecutorfired because he was searching into Barisma,
(14:20):
and Barisma is the company that hisson Hunter was working for. So he's
bragging that he got the guy investigatinghis son's company fired. Sounds fine to
me. And then so this isone of the reasons why apparently Hunter was
paid five million dollars to help withthat situation, and apparently five million dollars
was paid to Biden and to presidentthen Vice President Biden, and the owner
(14:45):
of Barisma told the informant very specifically. At first was saying, no,
we paid everything to Hunter, andthen he paid the big guy. But
then he said he had did tohave some insurance with specific documents that were
direct payments to Vice President Biden teenf He also told the informant this is
common practice in Russian Ukraine. It'scommon practice. It's part of business there
(15:09):
that's prow Their culture works that theywill pay bribery money in order to get
business deals done, and that manybusinesses they take that into account. They
put it their budget. Basically whenthey're preparing to buy another company or start
another company that that's just normal andso over in Ukraine for them to consider
(15:31):
hiring Hunter Biden on the board inorder to make their problems go away,
which was the prosecutor Shoken who wasinvestigating Barisma for corruption and legal problems.
This was definitely illegal for a vicepresident of the United States and their family
members. And then seventeen h sherelays the part about the bank accounts and
(15:56):
the direct payment seventeen h but hedid say that it would take ten years
for all of us to find outthe payments made to the Biden because of
how many bank accounts there weren't hesaid at the time there were no direct
payments made to the big guy.But in the meeting later after he had
(16:18):
become more upset as things were unfolding, he told the informant that he has
two pieces of evidence showing proof ofpayment to Hunter and specifically Joe Biden.
So this is not good news forPresident Biden. And what was really funny
yesterday, so this is coming out. The Congress members, members the committee
(16:40):
went to see the documents. Theysaw them. There's more than one.
And then the President, who wasdoing a press conference on something else,
was met by questions from the press, which were normally friendly not so friendly
yesterday cut sixteen the re obviation bombsof the Nancy basis, there's Danny evidence
out of bile that he sold outthe country. Give response to the Congressional
(17:03):
Republicans, where's the money? Thepresident to a bunch of malarkey. President,
it's a bunch of malarkey, where'sthe money, which has caused a
number of members of conversation. Well, we'll show you where the money is.
And then he was asked to followup by an NBC reporter who's normally
very supportive of the president. Sixteen. As the president, what do you
(17:26):
say to Americans to convince that theyshould trust that independence? Embarrass of the
Justice Department? Your friends as areDonald trumm repeatedly attacked because you have noticed,
I have never once, number one, single time, suggested the Justice
Department what they should do or notdo wealth to bringing a charge and not
bring a charge. I'm honest,I'm honest, honest, Joe, Hell,
(17:49):
do we know what he's You know, we're not. We're not privy
because we're not allowed in to hearwhat the president does with It's nice though,
by the way, because if youremember President to Trump, former President
Trump used to call still does JoeBiden creepy Joe. Now now he's got
a new moniker, he's honest Joe. Like like, honest, honest Joe.
I'm honest Joe. By the way, that would be a he should
(18:11):
if he doesn't win reelection, oreven if he does, once he finally
gets out of office, if helives that long, he should do uh,
he should do commercials for car dealers. I'm honest, Joe, come
on down and buy this beautiful gelopefrom Ukraine. I'd like to, uh,
yeah, honest Joe, honest dealersfor honest people. I'd like peddler
(18:32):
Joe or shady Joe. Shady Joe'sgood, Yeah, I like. I
like both. The honest honest workfor for Ay B. Lincoln all these
years. He's still honestly enough.That's because honest Day was honest that I'm
sorry, you have to be whatyou're saying. That's I think could be
a misapprehension on my part. Ithink you do so sexy Ben isn't working
for me. Well, let's askyour wife. Don't ask her, you
(18:56):
gotta ask other people. So well, now, some find it a very
strange coincidence. Indeed, that atthe same time that this document comes out
Congress as the document the President Trumpwas indicted. It was a bit of
a shocker and not expected. Thereare seven charges relating to the mishandling of
(19:17):
classified White House documents that were recoveredfrom Mara Lago, the president's former president's
estate in Florida. I'm club inFlorida. They include things like willfully retaining
national defense documents, obstruction of varioussorts, etc. And if convicted of
all seven counts, there's a maximumsentence of seventy five years. President Trump,
of course, says, I aman innocent man. Cut thirteen A.
(19:42):
I'm an innocent man. We willprove that again. Seven years of
proving it and here we go again. Very unfair, but that's the way
it is. I just want tothank everybody. We are doing something very
special for our country. We're puttingAmerica first. I always put America first,
(20:02):
and that's why we were in aposition. Unfortunately that position is no
longer valid because they've done such apoor job. But we're in a position
where we're going to make America greatagain. By the way, it wasn't
wasn't that a song by Billy Joel? I am an instant absolutely positively I
should get together and do a doa remake of that, a duet Trump
(20:25):
and Billy Joel. Why not forBilly Joel. Yeah, by the way,
instead of sending Trump to jail ifhe gets convicted, here's a good
idea. And I'm just trying tosolve the world's problems. So don't don't
get mad at me. I thinka room in New York, Well,
he should have to put up someof those immigrants. Just he's got a
lot of room down there. He'sgot a lot of Well they're in New
York, they're not in Florida.Well, he's in the New York in
(20:45):
the Florida governor, and the Floridagovernor has not has not put that thought
out there. I'm not looking tohouse immigrants. How many? How many
migrants could you put up? Ifeven run per room at Trump Tower?
Well, the him is Trump Ta. He doesn't he doesn't own Trump Tower.
It's a condo building. People owncondos. Quarter. He has his
(21:07):
own condo in Trump Tower, buthe doesn't own the other I see,
well, in a bucket, aquarter ahead. I'm just thinking you might
get more money than than the building'sworth after if you got the money long
enough. Yeah, I'm just look, I'm just trying to solve more than
one problem here, No I andI applaud you thinking outside the box.
I think that's by the way,is Trump I'm trying to So Trump been
indicted as many times as he's runfor president? Is that now the account?
(21:29):
Oh he's been indicted more. Ohokay, so he's way more than
that. He's only run for presidentthree times. Okay, the first,
the second he lost. This isthe third, and there's seven charges on
this, So that's you can countthat a seoretically out. Yeah, I
was just going with individuals. Otherwise, it's two indictments, two separate occasions
where there are multiple indictments. Thatway, Okay, I'm losing count I
just I got to check off thisthis column for one, and then over
(21:52):
here you got running for presidents.That's a different column. Yeah, that's
it's it's it's well, I mean, we're being kind of irreverent, but
that's what we do. But thething is that the indictment of a former
president is causing shockwaves. Of course, through both Democrats and Republicans. UM.
To be honest with you, themost vocal people, as you can
(22:14):
imagine right now are the people whoare running against Trump, and that's been
very interesting. I mean a lotof them issued statements like DeSantis issued a
statement, Vice President Pence issued astatement, um Nikki Haley issued statement all
support all issuing support for President Trump. And a few actually have come out
with with statements recorded statements. Onewas Vivic Ramaswami had this to say to
(22:38):
them to the indictment cut fourteen.I never thought we'd see the day when
a party in power, a USpresident has a Department of Justice under him
that arrests his lead rival during anelection, in the middle of an election.
Yeah, here we are. Wehave two standards of justice, one
(23:02):
for BLM riders and Antifa, anotherone for peaceful January six protesters, one
for Chelsea Manning, another one forJulian Assange. Guess what now you have
one for Joe Biden, who violatesthe same laws about document retention and classified
documents, and then one for Presidentdrum Yeah. I agree with him.
(23:22):
I think he puts it very well. And the other one who made a
verbal statement was Senator Tim Scott onFox and he likened it to pulling the
blindfold off of Lady Justice. Cutfifteen. A. One thing that makes
America the city on the Hill isconfidence in our justice system. And today
(23:44):
what we see is a justice systemwhere the scales are awaited. That seems
to be the outcome of where weare today. As President of the United
States, I would purge all ofthe injustice and impurities in our system so
that every American can have a confidencethat they will be seen by the Lady
(24:07):
of Justice with the blindfold on.That is what we need in this nation.
I agree, well, I dotoo. But here's here's the thing
that I think of. And ofcourse President Trump had the whole drain the
swamp. And we've heard this right, this, this song and dance has
been played before. I will makeyou know the equal justice and this and
that, and I'm gonna drain theswamp. I'm gonna get rid of the
players. See the problem is,and I don't want to sound like a
(24:30):
pessimist, but I'm gonna. Idon't know if that's possible. It's a
great promise, but boy, thegovernment is so deep and so twisted and
so I don't know if it.Trump didn't do it, so I just
wonder if it could really be basicallydid it while he was in office,
but then you know, he lostthe next election. I think he need
a good solid eight years of nonnon Democrat rule in order to clean the
(24:55):
Democrat swamp. And then you haveto worry about the Republican swamp. Right,
You've got swamp of everybody, right, right, So but I think
I think it's doable. But Ithink their point is right enough, Americans.
And it's interesting because the poll numbersare switching more and more against President
Biden because they perceived this unequal handof justice. They perceived the hypocrisy of
(25:17):
President Trump being charged with criminal chargesfor keeping classified documents when President Biden did
the same thing, When President Obamadid the same thing, when President Bush
did the same thing. They alldo the same thing. And people on
the left and saying, well,he hid them, No, he didn't.
He led everybody into look at them. That's mainstream media speak, which
(25:37):
was incorrect. He let them haveaccess to them. What they were looking
for, apparently, were the fastand furious documents that had to deal with
Eric Holder, and they didn't findthem or they couldn't find them, and
that's why they just said to himinitially, just put a padlock on the
room, we'll come look at themlater. And he gave them access to
them every single time they asked forit. And yet they did for a
(26:00):
television hit. They did the FBIwith the flashing lights at the door.
I mean, it's all obviously politicaland obviously unhanded that even people who used
to support President Biden are disgusted becausethere's something really deeply ingrained in the American
psyche, and that is the fairness. And if something's unfair or sneaky,
we have a very virulent response,such as the Japanese sneaking up on us
(26:25):
at Pearl Harbor. And it's thatvery famous Yamamoto quote. All we've done
is to awaken a sleeping giant andfill him with a terrible resolve. And
that's what's happening here, I thinkis that the misuse of the Department of
Justice is awakening a sleeping giant,aka the American people on both sides of
the island. They're going no,no, no, no no, because
(26:45):
if it can happen to Donald Trump, who has the resources and the power
to protect himself. It can happento us and we will have no recourse.
And I think that's what's happened.I think this indictment will actually probably
end up helping Trump in the end, unless he's in a jail cell.
I think he will be able tobeat win a Republican primary and possibly the
(27:07):
general election because of what they're tryingto do to him. Well, in
my opinion, of course, thereis there is the school of thought,
uh that Trump winning the primary andbecause there's a million and seventy three thousand
uh you know people running, hevery well might win the nomination that that's
that's that's bad for the Republican Party. So you have two sides of the
(27:27):
equation. One of those people whocame out and said I'm not running because
it's too crowded is New Hampshire GovernorChris sunuh So, I mean he's a
big I'm a big and Sunu,who was a Trump supporter in in twenty
sixteen you can tell, has fallenwell off the Trump bandwagon. So well,
I think that's the that would havehappened. I think that was the
natural accretion that would have happened,that people would walk away to these other
(27:48):
clients, these other candidates. ButI think the Democrats doing this, the
Department just is doing this, isputting people squarely in Trump's camp where they
wouldn't have been had had everything beenallowed to run. It's now actual course,
of course, just like everything else, we will see when it's all
over, what actually happens. Imean, you can listen to the show
in ten years and go, oh, they were right or they were wrong,
or pressing what they were Yeah,yeah, And I'm you know,
(28:11):
I'm going to guess I'm right sometimesand wrong sometimes. So it'll be interesting.
When I said, Sexy Ben,you know, time will tell,
it will be. We end everyweek with a biden Ism. We try
to, at least, and that'sthe President doing something that only Joe Biden
would do, and usually it pointsout the fact that Joe Biden is missing
one or two steps these days.Um. This week's Bidenism had to do
(28:33):
with the meeting. Um. ThePresident met with Prime Minister of the uk
um Rishi Sunac And so in thefirst little cut, it's just a little
tiny cut, he calls him Ican't remember what position he holds and calls
him, you know, mister President. Um, I believe that's Cut twenty
seven. We're all, mister President. I just motive you, mister Prime
(28:56):
Minister. It's great to have itback. And you know, the past
months, we met each other inSan Diego, and then we met in
Belfast, and we met in Hiroshima, and now we're here. We're going
to solve all the problems in theworld. Right in the next twenty minutes
went you know, at least hecorrected himself there, he caught himself and
(29:18):
corrected himself. But the next oneis funnier because he never does get it
what he doesn't. He starts totell this rambling story and he wants to
tell and he wants to mention WinstonChurchill, not exactly a hard name to
pronounce or to remember, since he'spretty huge in both the British and the
American zeitgeist, or anybody who is, you know, at least over the
(29:41):
age of thirty, cannot forget it, and if I cannot remember what his
name and just eventually just gives up. Cut twenty eight. Well, for
we had time, I take careof a residence where I live, and
when you were over at Blairhouse.Yeah, President Trumall was there because they
would read in the White House heput a hole in the German balcony easy
(30:03):
existing now because of their house inDanneville. About that second balcomen you see
the first bathmen you see so anyway, and there's an awful lot of stories
that are told of probably a bunchof apocryphal about um former prime minister,
like they take baths of that anyway, anyway, what the hell I can't
(30:26):
remember. It's like playing like playingbad trivial pursuit for former Prime Minister of
the UK, and then you gotto like list off all of them.
Margaret Thatcher, No, I thinkthat's a good game out you Biden trivial
pursuit? Yea, what name ishe trying to? What is he trying
to do when he calls someone who'snot a president at the president? It's
kind of like puzzles where they turnedaround when where they turn around one piece
(30:49):
at a time. You know,you can listen to it. Could you
guess who was talking about? Yeah, former Prime minister go I think I
would always start with this Winston churchChill. I work my way though,
kind yeah, world Lloyd, Ido you know Disraeli but I would probably
start with both, with both WinstonChurchill and Margaret that you would be the
(31:11):
top of my head. And thenwhoever's sitting now I think I think it
would depend on your age. Likeif you were a big Reaganite age person,
you would probably say Margaret Thatcher maybefirst. But if you were of
the older generation, then Winston Churchillmight be probably gets tossed in there.
Sure, sure, if you're intolike the Royals and you're of the Diana
era, yeah, I mean sothere's a but you know, but but
(31:32):
to not remember Winston Churi, Imean, the most famous prime minister ever
ever in the entire world is probablyWinston Churchill. You know. Um,
I was just thinking, you guyshad a queen who just recently died.
Um it was a she was ashe liked dogs. Well yeah, around
a long time. We're a crown. Yeah, I don't even what what
(31:52):
was her name? Yeah? Goodgod? No, well that's coming next
week. But this week this weekit was Winnie A right, Winston Churchill.
